007little bit um they do this song fluffy and twice that slow and this year we went back and we revisited and we are now going to almost raise this house exactly with the bow so this is [Music] here [Music] right [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] um this nice piece i gave this out to the group the day after their spring concerts so we started thinking about our future this year after that concert and this is the first piece he tried to play um for a little while but you're going to hear how far they come and you've had a great time [Music] uh [Music] two [Music] uh [Music] wow [Music] this [Music] [Applause] this is a student that comes to me almost um every week saying i heard a song so i went and i learned
008it and she just comes and plays it so this is the song she chose to play for us tonight [Music] foreign [Music] me [Music] me [Music] baby [Music] foreign [Applause] they've worked really hard on this that's an ensemble it's very difficult because there are many parts going on at the same time and as you're spread apart this star they're challenged in terms of their listening to each other so persist confirmation does feature our percussion section as you know there are one on this part back there and there's there's a lot to do and we do have a guest in the band as you notice in the program the guest performer is so this is it for her and she has not rehearsed with us yet because every time she tries to get to my room
009something comes up so this is her rehearsal and performance online so we wish her well and i know she's gonna nail it because that's what she does here at school no matter what happens so we invite you to um whether she does really well or not it's a big round of applause so that we can go out with them okay the christmas proclamation is one of our favorites and you're going to love it [Music] ah [Music] my [Music] my [Music] wow [Music] two [Music] so okay to school because of maybe you you supporting your children practicing and playing their music so we appreciate that so let's first [Applause] um um we have great secretaries at school i know that um somebody who brought instruments that were forgot at home we brought them in the morning
010so that you could have lessons we appreciate our secretary mrs gerard and one extremely special person who um through some miscommunication didn't realize there was a concert tonight so mr josh changed his struggle it's happening this evening so that he could be here and help us set up for this so thank you mr valentino [Applause] mr campbell is really amazing at preparing them to play issues teaching you about them teaching them to sing in tune teaching them to read rhythms and to keep a steady beat and to be able to do all that at the same time [Applause] youtube video so that i'll send it out to the staff so that they want to miss me and maybe they would like to copy just let me know and my son out of this video take
011me tonight [Applause] [Music] oh yeah we do have some special guests here i know that um one of my problems in doolittle school is here tonight helping to get music stands when i forgot one and to also just chaperone everybody with all of our distancing that's in place and that's this is jacqueline barr people do little school [Applause] and also you might see a big sixth letter playing in the trumpet section he's not a sixth grade he is a senior in college and he's a professional trumpet player as well as on his way to becoming a tremendous music educator he was my student teacher from august through the middle of october talk to students a lot and we're thrilled that he came back and played with us tonight thank you and with that i believe
